Steve -- what a thoughtful gift for Marge. But don't tell George I said that -- I've been impressing on him for years that only gem-encrusted objects are appropriate for Valentine's Day. It's working, too. Last year he gave me an electric can opener.

I HAVE done several yorkies. Funny, but a yorkie has to be one of the hardest dogs to create. with the multiple colors.. and the fact that they are small to begin with, makes them such a challenge. Plus, the mohair used to make a yorkie runs $350 a yard!! But even a lifesize yorkie thankfully doesn't take anywhere close to a yard to make. I have a couple on my "adopted bears" page on my website. Look for Studley on the first row He was created in the likeness of my Sunnie (RIP) when he was a puppy, Mitzi on the 3rd row is in the "teenage" stage, and Jennifer on the 6th row is a lifesize adult yorkie. I have made more that those 3, but that is all I have displayed right now.

I do have to say that business (as a teddy bear artist) has been SO slow that I did not make one single bear all last year. It really felt great to work on this bear and see her "come to life". Steve, when you see her in person, you will know what I mean by that. Once those glass eyes are set in, they literally look alive.

Let me know when she gets there!!

How cute! I didn't know you did that.

I thought you were from Texas. Is it possible someone can be from Texas and never have tasted a Chicken Fried Steak?

Absolutely, the only fried food I love and eat is Southern Fried Chicken.

I don't get the Chicken Fried Chicken thing or Fried Catfish.....just not much on fried foods.

Chicken Fried Steak, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Turnip Greens, and Corn Bread! Probably find that in every little Texas cafe.
